MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality Request
-
I now understand that the ignore option found in the MOZ Site Crawl tool will permanently remove the item from ever showing up in our Issues again. We desire to use the issues list as kind of like a To-Do checklist with the ultimate goal to have no issues found and would like to "Temporarily Remove" an issue to see if it is shows back up in future crawls. If we properly fix the issue it shouldn't show back up.
However, based on the current Ignore function, if we ignore the issue it will never show back up, even if the issue is still a problem.
At the same time, the issue could be a known issue that the end user doesn't want to ever show back up and they desire to never have it show again. In this case it might be nice to maintain the current "Permanently Ignore" option.
Use the following imgur to see a mockup of my idea for your review.

Hi folks!
Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!
When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

Samantha,
Excellent. I appreciate the consideration. Hopefully this is something that others will also find value from.
NOTE: my mock-up would only be one approach. There are other methods that might be more user friendly. -
Hi there,
Thanks so much for writing in and for providing us with such great feedback! The crawler is very new, and we're definitely always seeking ways to improve it so suggestions like yours really help. I'll pass on this feedback to our development team so we can consider it as something we may want to implement in the future:).
Let us know if we can help with anything else!
NOTE: Things have changed since my last response - you can also now mark issues as 'Fixed' within the Site Crawl, so you can track your progress as you go along:). If you mark an issue as 'Fixed', on the next crawl it will still appear if we recognise that it hasn't actually been fixed. My colleague Jo left a helpful screencast in a comment below - https://screencast.com/t/sqyiphpjEcr

Moz is flagging my callto: links as 404s. I "fixed" with tel: & nofollow and lost 2 DA. Help?
I changed the callto: links to tel: links in the footer and nofollowed them and my domain authority dropped 2. I'm assuming this is because we lost 2.8K "external links" Advice on how to remove 404s for Phone#'s without affecting DA? Will just using the tel: format stop Moz from crawling them as 404's? It was adding links to the 404 list that look like this: www.ocp.org/missals/callto:########### I assumed it was because to the crawlers the links looked like relative links this is what our links look like now: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>tel:###########" rel="nofollow" title="Call us">########### Old footer links: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>callto:###########" title="Call us">###########

Does seo moz toolbar work in safari? Can I avoid using Chrome or firefox?
I am using a Mac and use Safari for web. I am not very familiar with Google Chrome or Firefox. I started my trial with SEOMoz Pro and want to use it (loved it) but do not want to adapt myself to Google Chrome or Firefox - thus my hesitation. What limitations do I have with SEOMoz Pro in safari - e.g. Moz add-on in the toolbar? What would I be missing if I continue using Safari? I would much appreciate an honest and complete answer so that I can decide whether to use Google Chrome of Firefox. Thank you

Moz Crawler failing with https redirect?
Is there a way to get the Moz Crawl Test to work with HTTPS? I just got back this error: 902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page. Site is set up with a standard 301 to redirect http to https - or at least I certainly hope it is! Rex Swain's HTTP Header Checker took shows a standard 301. Anyone else experiencing this error? btw - this is both a specific question and an opportunity for open discussion... Thanks!
